Following our sustainability summit in February 2023, we developed our EARTH goals which represent five strategic initiatives to embed ESG behaviors into day-to-day operations.
Embrace Digitization: utilize technology to reduce the environmental impact of operations.
Advance Electrification: promote and support an electric vehicle transition.
Reward Conscious Behaviors: create programs that encourage sustainable behaviors.
Trust Responsible Suppliers: facilitate responsible partnerships and procurement processes.
Heal the Atmosphere: reduce air pollution across operations by encouraging alternative transportation.
In 2024, our ESG Division chose five environmental areas of focus, each led by a designated LAZ leader to ensure alignment and execution on the frontline. Below we include the highlights of these projects:
- E-Commerce Growth: Over 900,000 sheets of paper saved, and 9,020 pounds of CO2 diverted at LAZ’s 260+ ticketless locations.
- EV Charging: Experienced an estimated 258,046 kg of CO2 emission savings in 2024 at 238 ports at 39 LAZ locations.
- E-Waste Week: In 2024, LAZ hosted various E-Waste Weeks across 7 LAZ offices to inform our efforts to create a national e-waste recycling program. In total, we were able to collect over 600 LAZ-issued or personal devices, equaling 5,753 pounds, to be properly recycled or refurbished by LAZ.
- SteriCycle: For our second year, we partnered with SteriCycle at 25 LAZ locations to divert over 20,000 pounds of paper waste from the landfill.
- Samsara Telematics: LAZ increased the implementation of our fleet vehicles from 82% in 2023 to 94.75% in 2024 in an effort to continually track vehicle performance and emissions.
